In New UU, would it be worth it to use Energy Ball over Grass Knot on Slowbro/king, since the only notable pokemon that takes over 80 BP damage from it is Milotic? Or rather, is it just a holdover from OU or is the lower PP of Energy Ball the main reason it's not used?

Deoxys-D is the only one worth doing anything defensive with (maybe it could be done with Deoxys-S, but I don't see any reason to bother).

Even with -SpA, I would go with the standard CM. You're going to be weaker than average, but you can't boost your regular attack, not to mention that you'll also be boosting your SpD with CM (which does have its uses in ubers).
 
Will Pursuit ignore paralysis? Like, Rotom thunder waves a Tyranitar that just switched in. Now Rotom attempts to flee but Tyranitar uses Pursuit. Is there a chance that Tyranitar is "fully paralyzed" and Rotom makes a safe getaway? Or will Pursuit ignore this altogether and hit regardless? I know that Paralysis can stop priority attacks but I'm unsure about Pursuit.
 
Yeah, full paralysis can stop pursuit from taking effect. If it doesn't, Pursuit still activates with its normal priority.
 
Is there a site where all the effects of moves in double battles are shown (hits both opponents, hits everyone but self, chooses random opponent, etc.)?
 
*nooB*How do you guys keep track of your EVs while training? Even when I keep note, I get hopelessly lost...*nooB*

Also if I Trick a choice item then Torment the opponent it will alternate between Struggle and the other attack right? (Even though he'll just switch)

If you really get lost, just keep a text document open, and edit the number of EVs for a given stat after each of your KOs. For added ease, use the Power items, and Vs. Seeker on the 6x Magikarp trainer west of Eterna City.

Actually, I tried that already, but that 6x Magikarp trainer trick is pretty nifty, it just takes 10 BP and 5 battles to get your speed EV to 250...

Anyway, thanks for the tip!
 
@Griffin: Not anywhere I know of. :( Your best best would be to consult both Smogon and Bulbapedia for the effects of the moves you are interested in.

That gives me a project I could work on though!!

That seems to be the case, and is verified in one of Smogon's articles:

I've tried, but neither are clear in what attacks do what. Thanks anyway. :)

Edit: I found one! I should have looked better, the place was rather obvious. If anyone else wanted to see it, it's here.
 
Can someone tell me the base stats of the new Rotom appliance forms?

(I haven't been following the changes in platinum)
 
On shoddy battle, my opponent quits the battle but I didn't make a move yet so the timer is still counting, when my timer runs out and I get the message that I used all my time. Do I get a win, a lose and a win or only a lose?
 
If they quit the battle it should say

"______ has left the room"
"<insert winning message here>"

Meaning it's a win for you. (I forgot the winning message :P). If you do stay and let time run out, it says you exhausted your time, but doesn't exactly declare your opponent the winner.
